    45 minutes

    One of these astounding rock formations is the Razorback, whose name comes from its jagged, narrow aesthetic. One of the most awe-inspiring natural landmarks in the Port Campbell National Park

Worth it! Thanks James

Great day on the Great Ocean Road. It’s a long day, but pick up was smooth and prompt. Our guide James was in good spirits from start to finish, keeping up moral and sharing his passion for Australia. Spotted lots of koalas and Kangaroos, got Tim tams and tea, and lots of great info and humour from James, despite us having a pretty quiet group! Thanks so much James :)

Great tour! James was a fun guide. Quite a drive + long day. Worth it, but I think one or two stops could be cut short. Overall enjoyed it.

Highly recommend
